How to stop drinking, how to stay sober, near death experience (NDE)stories…it's all here.?
Woah! Man that's seriously frightening!? I'm sorry this happened to you! I can't imagine how you felt when you regained consciousness and the reality of the situation sank in!
very touching story james, i hope i can stop before i end up this far.
Omg!!! So sad about Boyd! ?? But so glad you are here!
I love how you talk about everything. It's all exactly what I go through/think. I'm am terrified of not being able to beat this. I have to succeed this time or I will basically lose what I do have… I'm so thankful for this channel. I'm sorry you and all of us must suffer so long and hard. I've hit rock bottom and it must have been a trampoline because I just keep coming back to it! Xo
Thanks for your story Brother Ive been battling Alcoholism for 9 years, your story is inspiring!
You've got my attention. will definitely be a regular. One Navy Veteran to another. Thanks. I too started while in the military. Submarine service was hard on me. Got out in 2003 after 10 years of service and have been an alcoholic ever since. It's Rocky road…..Ill never stop trying though.
You helping me change my life thank you ?
Thanks for your story.im trying to get to 30 days but I've been craving booze for the last 3 days
I have put myself in so many stupid situations. I can’t gamble like this anymore. I have been saved by god so many times.
Your show is very helpful. I've been thinking of drinking lately after 8 years of sobriety. I'm glad I found your show. Thank you.
Have u ever had DUI's
I decided not to go to a party as i watch this video. Alcohol is waiting for me.
Im an alcohic i need help
Are you back friends with ur old pals?
The reason you survived may have been to inspire and help and I believe you are achieving this.
Wow!
Keep up the great work. You tell a very true story and part of your life not everyone wants to share in a public forum. I have now 35 years sober, from a self medicated serious case of panic disorder that lead me into alcohol dependency. From two beers a day to a quart + of vodka a day. If my blood alcohol was not at least a .2 + I would start to go into withdraw. I know this subject well. I'm now 66 and living life large. If I had kept going at the rate I had built up to, I would have died 34 years ago. Anyway, I still remind my self of who I am and my past problems and how easy it would be to slip into that dangerous world again. That's why I enjoy hearing stories like yours. I have been there, done that, and have no intentions of ever returning to that crazy lifestyle. In my case it was not a party, it was hell on earth, and pure survival mode. Now that is soooo far behind me. Keep up the good work and trying to motivate others from falling into that spiral. Trust me it gets easier every year…..keep up the good work on yourself as well.
God bless your heart & soul. Yeah, you might be correct about what you said about God keeping you on planet earth & your stories on YouTube. To be 100% honest with you, I watched your whole video, every second of it & I usually do not do that but you & your story really caught my undivided attention. Well, have yourself a good 1, James.
Fair play keep up the good work blessing for ireland
what blows my mind is how few post about this subject I absolutely needed to hear this story. The anxiety, fear, discouragement this disease brings into ones life is debilitating but to see others facing that battle with you brings an immense amount of hope thank you for what your doing. There is no doubt that our higher power had reason and purpose for you
Your story is absolutely incredible. Thank you for sharing so the rest of us can listen, watch and learn from your journey.
Wow holy hell . Thank you James . This is seriously inspiring me , I have not had any alc in almost a week which for me is tremendous . Still smoking maryjane constantly but one vice at a time right
Best Step 8 I have ever seen!!! ???
Thank you for sharing. Glad you are recovering well. I’m three years sober. Your video helps reinforce my strength and conviction. Every day is its own battle.
Dont know how I overlooked this video or why I didnt get a notification when it was released but really glad you survived and able to help spread the message and encourage others by sharing your own personal trials and tribulations. Keep Moving Forward brother.
This is inspiring. Your story and your logic cements my own self diagnosis. My rock bottom; leaving the bar parking lot in an ambulance, after becoming blackout drunk and vomiting blood on the bar parking lot in front of new coworkers (who also happens to all be surgeons) was humiliating. This was nothing compared to waking up in the hospital to the sight of my six year old crying “mommy” and the sight of a, not worried but angry, husband. This is not the first time he’d been called to pick me up because I was incapacitated. Surprisingly this was not enough to make me stop. My poor family, what I have put them through. I am newly sober and am ready for change. These videos help to reinforce my idiocracy. When my brain tries to tell me I am not an alcoholic, I seek the stories of others and the familiarity of their thinking brings me back to reality. Thank you for sharing these videos.
Thank you for sharing this. I had a couple DUI's within 6 months in 2008, one in NY one in PA and you know damn well they weren't the only times I drove drunk. It resonated when you mentioned the profound sadness from your family. I'm glad you are alive. Hell, glad I'm alive too. We do recover 🙂
Usefull stuff ☮️
The doctor told me that your heart stopped twice during the operation. Yes 2x
Son, you earn more of my respect every day. "Keep Going"
You sharing this story is a great thing ?
Great story!
What ever happen to the million you owe you still paying that off ??? 9:50
Thanks for shearing. Stay awesome.
You’re a good shit James, glad you’re around. You’re doing something good for people here, be proud of that.
Great video
Was one of the hardest times in my life to see you in that bed. But you rose up and now are helping others through these tough experiences. You should share your bed bug story sometime?
yep
Wow! Very sad. You made me cry.
